Bagatelle Boxes by Marfa

Good morning, fabulous people! Marfa here! Today I want to show you a project that I plan to have around for a long, long time to come. This is a Bagatelle Boxes Starter Kit by Gina's Designs. If you saw the video that I took of my DT Package, you might remember a bunch of a little boxes that I showed you, with all the measurements, remember? Well, these are it. They were super-easy to put together.

I used Gorilla wood glue to glue them. It was my first time using Gorilla glue, but it won't be the last. That glue is awesome! I put them together and covered them with white gesso. This is not a decorative tray for me, it is something that I plan handle often. Therefore, I didn't want to glue anything to it, like flowers, that might come loose after a while. Instead, I took a Sharpie pen and started doodling all kinds of happy stuff on it. I colored the doodles with my Copic markers. It worked perfectly! Then I filled with them with brads, found items, rhinestones and all those tiny stuff that we crafters use. But they are also perfect as drawer organizers, office supplies, etc. I love it!
